that most or the detention or American

assailed the measure as a dangeroun ex-
periment In government ownership and as-
serted that It would open tho way to tha
building up or privileged Interests.
The Ohio senator talked for several hours
arter Senator Fletcher In cherg.1 of the
measure hart succeeded over persistent
opposition In bringing it squarely before the
senate for discussion. Later the District
or Columbia appropriation bill took the rlght-
oi-way out tne aenaie win oe resumed a
soon as mat measure is out or me way.
Senator Burton who emphasized the ort-
reiterated determlnstlon of the Republicans
to debate the measure at great length had
not concluded his sddress when he gave
way for the spproprlstlon bill. He chal-
lenged advocates of the bill to tell any
speciric route or trade on which It was
proposed to establish a government line.
Senator Fletcher replied that the question
or routes would be worked out by the
shipping board; that it involved a great deal
or careful study to determine Just what
lines of trafric would be moat bene rued
He declared that tbe minority report Indi-
cated that In the opln'on of lis signers tbe
United States government was powerful
to assist lis peoplo In the emergency pre-
sented to American commerce by the war.
Even the advocates of the bill. Senator
Burton Insisted believed tbe government
ships would be operated at a loss snd he
argued that to believe tho so ships ver
could be disposed or and the government
retire from the business without a tre-
mendous loss on tbe original investment as
well as the deficit of operation was roily.
Senator Galllnger suggested thst the loss In
this way would be many times greater than
the expense of ocean mall subsidies sueh
as he favored.
senator Burton gave ti as his opinion thst
tbe president "with the manifold duties
which he Is discharging so ably." could
not have all tbe available data berore him
when he sonrluded that transportation facil-
ities were limited.
"The fact is" said he "that transports-
tion ranunes to Central and South America
are abundant. Ships going from New York
to South America have plenty of extra room
in them the reason being that the biiylnr

Tho failure of General Villa to put In ap

the conference for the settlement or Ihe
sonora border dispute which had been ar
renged for yesterdsy.

viven to undaaaaWul by reitrrsentitiivc or
Ihe emu cuiioifgo (-rninnii mighi be ex

I.Hter in tbe day ll Is understood a mes
save was received from ueneial Villa ex
plaining the delay but ine explanation if
the report bo irue was not made nubile.
It is also understood a lenglhy outline
or the position or General villa on the
Vgco situation was wired to the border
bihI laid before Gt-neral iscott by represen
Ititlvcs or- the Mexican leader.
Ai midnight ll Mas said by Juarez orri
clalu that General Villa's train ua. due at
any moment and that it would certainly
in the absence or serious oertdeiit arrive
Inffire daylltihi. Inlluwlntr Ids uhusI nieth
ods General Villa seems to have lirtuled
his movements in seci-pcy and not even
the men ciusesl lo him on the border are
at all sure of when he. will arrive or how
u.ng lie win remain.
General Villa has notified tho i nlied
Slates that ir the reinforcements being sent
hy him to sonora tinder Gen. Juan Catoral
aro permitted lo maka a general attack on
the Garran data bordar positions at Naco
and Agua prtaia ba can aaaure a definite
solution to the conttovéray between th
U At fan stales and Mexico caused By ihe
shooting Into the united Slates at Naeo.
He has expressed his confidence that in
s genersl stuck or eight hours his forces
could dereat the Csrranrislas and reclaim
the two border purls In Sonora for the
convention government.
In sending the 8000 reinforcements to
Sonora ror Oov. Joan Maria Maytorena's
troops it was his plan io make this at-
tack thinking that the Uqlted stales would
sccept bis proposition. So far no state-
ment haa coma either from Washington or
rrom government orriclals here who are
participating In the negotiations with the
Mexican lenders regarding the Mutation and
It can not be learned whether villa's prop-
osition has been accepted or turned down.
Mexican orriclals say that thla proposi-
tion will be presented by them at the
Villa-Scott coherences to be held here
as s certain solution or the border dirri-
culty. Cabra!' Troops Reach Juarei.
Tho retarorcemenls which aro being
rushed to Sonora by General Villa bagan
arriving at Juarez yesterdsy morning snd
throughout tbe dsy. Gen. Juan Cabral re-
cently appointed by Minister or War Jose
Isabel nobles as commander-ln-ehlor or the

Five trains arrived during thu day and
Juares orriclals said that more were ex-
pected and would srrlvo In (lie early
morning. As soon ss tlie troops arrived
they were transrerred to the Mexico North-
western railway. The trains have not left
Juarez as there was a delay in providing
Hi- in with supplies. At Juarez they are
taking on provisions to sustain them on
their tun-day Journey which Ihey must
make overland from casas Grandes where
they will disembark from the trains to
onora.
Conlerroce will Not Delay Movement.
The eonrerenres which will be held be-
tween Genersl Scott and General Villa will
not delay the movement or the troops to
Sonors In any way. if ll is decided at tbe
conference to neutralize the border ports.
the troops ot General Cabral will be di-
verted from Naco and Agua Prieta directly
lo ihe main line of ihe Southern Pacific
of Mexico to be sent to the southern part
or Sonora where they will operate against
tne Gsrrsnrtstas who are threatening to
Invade üonora rrom Slnaloa.
If the iroops carry out their present
orders to assist Governor Msytorena :n
laklug the border ports In Sonora rrom the
Carranrlstas. Agua Prieta opposite Ioug-
lss. Ariz. will be their rirst objective.
They will make ihelr march rrom Casas

ihence to the sonora Mormon colonlea
where they III move directly northward
on Agua Prieta. Already Governor May
